São Paulo Zoo in Franca

A beautiful zoo and beautiful park, full of trees and surrounded with a rainforestA must place when visiting sao paulo.Also very recommended with children🤙

Great experience. Super crowded so come as early as possible.The route up to the entrance is always crazy bad due to traffic.

Around the Zoo is a messy. The zoo is ok, but my favorite has been deactivated, so, you are not going to find penguins and polar bear. 😔Its a good place for children.

Awesome! We had a great time there!

Huge zoo, it is one of the biggest. The section of snakes and small animals were amazing. Not 5 stars because: parking service expensive and poor. Inexistence of alternatives to parking. Maybe the zoo could invest more in a section for cubs, areas were you could feed the animals. Some animals were difficult to see, they were hiding in the cages, maybe a better position for the shelters could help with this.

A great place for a couples our family outing. Not the greatest selection of animals but a nice place for a walk.

The zoo is a fantastic place to go with friends and family. We love it.

Very nice. I recommend to go during the week to avoid queues (what we actually didnt do). Its a very large ZOO, so arrive early. Not happy with accessibility for buggy/pram from the car park - which is also expensive - too rough and too many potholes. The Zoo Itself could also have better paths for families with small kids using buggy. The white tiger is really rare and really liked seeing it for the first time. The dinosaurs park, was really good and I have enjoyed it as much as my kids.

Lovely place and very polite staff. 4 stars because they open early at 9am but you will miss some animals because they are cleaning the enclosure. If they need to clean just open later. Recommended!!!

Animals in cages too small, its not very nice to be honest. I expected more humanity but maybe that was asking too much.

The contact with the nature is really important, specially learn to respect it. Through a zoo, infants start learning about it. Although the place is great, I think the Mayor should invest more and give special places for brazilian animals for the world can go to the Zoo and have a better experience learning about Brazilian nature and culture

Biggest zoo biggest zoo in the world.. have so many animals..

Amazing place, beautiful animals

It is amazing to see how much it has improved since my last time there (+ ten years). The animals seem way less stressed, apart from main attractions like the spectacled bear. Post no one is there early in the morning (possibly due to covid and schools not being back yetand the animals are pretty relaxed, which allows for some amazing photos. Ill definitely go back there in the near future.

Love the zoo well kept clean .Good display .ammonium with landscape .Fantastic learning experience for adult and children .highly recommended be prepared for all day excursion

Great place to spend half a day.It is true that it has been much better in the past, but it is still a great option for children to know animals and spend a day in the park. There are not many option of food there, only some simple restaurants I have nor yet tried.For adults as well it is quite interesting. The park is really beautiful.

Its a really great place to spend the day with the family, bringing new experiences for the kids and enjoying the place along with them, despite of the reptiles and little bugs place being closed, you can have fun with the other sections of the zoo, overall its a really good place to spend the time with ^v^

Pricy for a mediocre experience, Very crowded, long lines to buy tickets as online option was not available. Long waiting for parking and entrance, no good restaurants options inside, lots of animals are available for instance no lions, park not well maintained, attendance was very polite. I was disappointed.

Zoo needs more care and attention!Maybe more investment ...We had a very pleasant walk on a sunny Thursday. Great to enjoy with children and family.Unique to this pandemic is that some places are closed, such as the rooms for reptiles and amphibians, among other attractions.Dinos area is worth it with small child. Enough option to have fun.We arrived at noon and stayed until 4pm and we could see everything. It is recommended to arrive early to enjoy it calmly and to return in some animals because they are not always awake or visible!!!!!!

Nothing much for a zoo. I expected much better variety and environment not very well maintained. The animals seemed a bit bored and not too energized. Snack shops were also minimal.

Its like a jungle, very attractive and diverse

Great Zoo, one of the most important of Latin America, its huge so you have to be prepared to walk, but it also offer a zoo tour with a small group car, I just need to improve the visual information for the turists.

Awesome place to visit at São Paulo. Good place to send half a day.Strongly recommend to also take the Safari

Very interesting place, nice zoo with quite wide variety of animals, especially monkey lake is worth of it to see this with one exception wouldnt recommend to take safari ride what from real safari has only the name of it, but otherwise if you speak Portuguese then also this activity will be interesting because all animals in the zoo have names and driver stories might be actual for children.

The best zoo Ive visited so far. The animals are obviously well cared for and much more active than others Ive seen. The variety of animals is great, and the zoo grounds itself are enormous and beautiful.

The zoo has a great infrastructure os restrooms, restaurants and picknic places. Is clean and organized. There is a big parking lot near the entrance, and its near to subway station. Its a place to know "wild" animals in a short distance. I feel that those animals dont show the real image of a wild nature.

For São Paulo being a big a city as it is, I guess I expected more. There weren’t too many animals, water exhibits were dirty, glass was all filthy. And it was a maze! I would’ve wanted a map but they were 5R a piece. Loved seeing all the parrots.

Beautiful zoo & Safari! It is huge & beautiful. There are not too many animals though.

Amazing number of animals seen no where else. Sadly, the elephant enclosure is woefully inadequate.

Awesome huge place but it needs more attractions, maps around and more guidance! Safari is no need to do when you can walk is even more attractive to enjoy. We pay 17 reais more to see the dinosaurs which was ok for the kids but for me too expensive for just seeing it!

Although the Zoo as clean and organized... I think this is my second visito and everything was exactly the same as before (like almost 2 year ago); Dinosours exhibition (my sons main objective herewas identical no changes at all, the animatronics doesnt move as before (maybe lack on maintenance, dont know). Sadly animals didnt look happy :( places were clean and I saw people feeding them... but they didnt seems happy to me

This is such a picturesque place and well maintained. I enjoyed seeing Creation.

Amazing place you have to visit it

Amazing safaripark, able to feed the animals by hand....just wunderfull

Great variety of animals and they seem to be taken care often. However, due to the food available, the habitat of savage animals are drastically changed. Its beautiful, but at the same time sad to see them being deprived.

Yes...good atmosphere...but charges are not reasonable.. charging R$40 for adults...too much..and zoo Safari is also available..but it is not so adventures...still the animals have kept inside the fence..I dont know why the 🦁 and 🐅 are sleeping...can feed snacks to deer....zoo Safari charges also not reasonable...had purified drinking water everywhere at free of cost.also the toilet facility... reserve atleast 3 hrs in your day for complete through of this zoo

Very poor zoo! The cages are very small. I would not support the park again by paying entrance for this. There is a dinosaurs area, but you have to pay extra for this. Parking service is horrible...

Its a nice space to have a stroll, the animals seem happy and its nice and green. I didnt give it 5 starts because compared to some European zoos Ive visited, the infrastructure can use an update. What I missed and found back in all other zoos is a playground for the kids.

My family and I visited the zoo on Sunday. We had a fantistic time. The area is very large and would recommend strollers for small children. The animals appeared very healthy and most of the pens and aquariums had animals. Looking forward to our next visit.😀

This was a very disappointing zoo. I went on a weekday so it was nice and quiet. Overall the place just lacks polish and looks very old. The exhibits look dated and some of the animal habitats looked very small and inadequate. This zoo needs a big investment to bring it up to the level of other such parks in large cities. May be worth seeing if youre in the neighborhood, otherwise, dont go out of your way to see this one.

A moderate sized zoo, the Sao Paulo Zoo utilizes its space well and does a good job displaying its impressive number of birds. It is in need of some modernizing however, as some of the exhibits are poorly designed and make viewing the animals difficult. The large mammal exhibits in particular could do with a bit of an upgrade, but still a very nice zoo.

Very big and beautiful nature but a limited number of animals, some of them are old and were sleeping all the time, we went for safari but it was frustrating because we expected to see animals near us but they were in there cages and we were able to pass on feet instead

Medium size, 4 or 5 hours at most to visit all the park, not including the Dino zone and Safari Park. Very funny the bird zone, the parrots seems like the muppets when they are singing

Lots of animals and good view of them!

Excellent zoo overall. I think the zoo safari was a little overrated but it was good. It was really cool to watch the zookeepers relate to the animals because it seemed like they really cared about them. Also got to see a bunch of howler monkeys yell at each other for a while. The only reason I give it a 4 star instead of five is that a few of the pens seem a bit cramped, especially the rhino and elephant.. Other than that it was amazing!

A wide spread area with a large collection of animals to see and admire. A fun place where kids too can enjoy themselves. Theres a animated movie screening for the kids and also an option of safari is available for everyone.

Clean, animals look happy and fat, still a zoo though

I just went only to the safari park, but it was really a fun. You can enjoy one hour tour in your own car (or Zoologicos micro bus ). Dont forget to buy food bought on the street just before the entrance ( I thought that we could also buy it inside, but I couldnt find). Feeding seemed to give you much more fun there !

Very nice green area. Most of the animal cages looks small and old. Has a few option for food (crowded and not comfortable). Several ice cream stands along the park. Not a must visit, but nice place to go with small kids!

Great place for the whole family, this Zoo is huge and theres a lot to see so make sure you arrive early to have plenty of time to check things out. Depending of the time of the year gets extremely hot and the animals will hide to find shade. Make sure to bring hats, sunscreen and plenty of water.
